Playback!: Lieutenant Pigeon, ‘Mouldy Old Dough’ (1972)

Raise your hand if you’re familiar with this, strange but fun, number one UK hit from Lieutenant Pigeon. Anyone? Ah, a few hands. Good.

“Mouldy Old Dough” is apparently the only British #1 to feature a mother and son team (Rob & Hilda Woodward). And it may be the only chart-topper to have been recorded in the quiet front room of a house in Coventry. Get out yer rock flutes and have a listen!
